Okay, I know that EVERYONE is hissed off at the newbies for making 20 new threads a day, each!, in the forums but why should your status prohibit you from writing your opinion in the Prime FOG?
I would like to think that I have posted quite a few half-decent posts in my time here at SR's discussion forums so why should I, and other newbies, be refused access to a particular forum when I have never tried to mis-use or deliberately annoy anyone on these forums.
I may only have posted 150 or so times but why should I have to get to 300 posts (and 7500 words) just to write in the Prime FOG? Believe it or not I mostly like to think about what I write before I start rather than just writing a whole load of cack.
I guess even on the internet you cannot escape the labels which are found in the big bad world and I just think that is a very big shame.

(This isn't a very structured argument as I just finished a 10 hour shift at work, I need my tea and I'm annoyed at not being allowed to write in the Prime FOG)

Just to summarise:
I don't want to post rubbish just to get to regular status.
Why should newbie status not allow you to post on a forum?

What next, a forum where only females can post and a forum where guys can post?

If anyone can carry this argument better than I please feel free to post in here, I'm off to get some food!

not a bad idea, this creating a new forum for newbies to post new messages in.

I'd go with this.

In response to the original message:

I agree that newbies should be alowed to post in the Prime topics forum!

I've seen loads of crap topics saying "My last post on Gamecube"
"My last post on X-box"

etc

put up by regulars!

There's no excuse!

Don't copy my spelling kiddies, it's determination, not detirmination.

How must the advanced be forced to sit amongst the feeble minded!

I cannot stand these restraints, so I will become a regular from sheer detirmination. I find it amusing I am judged by the amount of times I hit the keyboard.

It's nice to be out in the fresh air again though.
